GIRL SEEKS BIKE

LEATHER LANE

Let's agree, that those awkward problems and insecurities we all had during high-school could have been solved by one thing: a leather jacket. Not only does its value apply directly to a lifetime of street cred, it also makes you feel 100% worthy of it. A biker jacket is the next level, and it is widely understood that people with biker jackets only sit at the back of the bus and really don't need arguments to win a discussion. It's all in the jacket.

FAST AND FURIOUSBritish heritage brand Barbour International - not to be mixed up with the countryside-companion Barbour - have been the tone setting kings of the roads through their motorcycling wear since 1936, and therefor have something to say, when it comes to getting the look right and most importantly: authentic. With fashion week season on its absolute high, the ultimate thing to me has been being able to arrive at my destination with a smoulder that says: "Yes, I do own a motorcycle, and yes, I had to park it 10 blocks away to even get a spot". London Fashion Week is a race, and until my courage builds for matching two-wheeled adventures on the road, I'll be in red London buses dressed for when that moment comes.

Generally the biker jacket or moto jacket isn't in line with my overall style but I do love the look of them when I'm in the mood. There's this type of collar I like on the moto jacket but I have no idea what it's called. It's unfortunately on the my now-ruined favourite "leather" jacket. SO sad.
